Movie theatre Problems?!
Question: I once watched this movie " Click" which is a funny comedy, there is this kid talking through the entire movie and I thought this is common. But do you know whats the worst part? Is when kids are talking, their parent should control them, instead, their parents start discussing with their kids. Such as, " What's that dog doing to the ducky?" then the parent says, " Oh, it's just something you should know when your old enough." This has been happening for a long time, and it's just about to get into my nerves. Should I shush them and throw popcorn at the them, or should I just ignore them keep my attention to the movie? Because I'm scared when I make them angry, they'll be lecturing me after we leave the theatre. And honestly, I would really like to use violence against them and I know it's wrong. Please help.
P.S.
Im only 14. And I think I'm a bit too inmature to have my own choices.

First, Give them a dirty look. Most people get the message through that.
If they don't, then very politely tell them, "Excuse me, but could please talk quietly, we all need to follow the film"
I'm a parent of three and the bottom line is that, unless you're at a kids' movie like "Shrek 3" or "Ratatouille" then your children really have no business either a) being there, or b) making noise without their parents shushing them.
Now, I can't claim to be the best parent in the universe, but I simply don't take my children to see movies that are rated higher than PG for the reasons you outlined above (the talking, the questions, the fact that they're not interested in seeing a movie they don't understand). Plus, I'd be exposing them to something beyond their understanding for their age.
It's called basic courtesy, and I would be angrier at the parents than I would at the kids (they're just being kids after all). What you should do is kindly ask them to keep it down. If they refuse or simply don't do it, then go get an usher or a manager. They'll take care of it. Violence won't do anything but get you banned from the theater and, worse, it would be very harmful (mentally) to the children.
Just because you're "only 14" doesn't mean you're not entitled to enjoy your movie without constant interruption.
We both have the same problem. If I can't find another vacant seat, then I just say my frustration out loud. Sometimes, that work, but most of the time they just get louder to annoy you.
There are two solutions to your problems. Instead of going to the theater to watch the movie, you could wait until "Click" becomes available on DVD and rent it. Another solution is this: When you are in the theater and this problem continues to bother you, I suggest to go to the usher to complain about this problem. Inconsiderate people exist everywhere, especially in the theater when paying customers such as yourself are trying to enjoy the movie.
As for being only 14, age has nothing to do with it. When you go to the theater you are a paying customer.you have just as much right to watch and enjoy the movie as well as anybody else. As a paying customer you are not too immature to go to to the usher and complain. It's an usher's job to make sure customers are enjoying movies in theaters without any problems/complaints.
